A tensiometer measures soil water tension (matric potential) and is ideal for irrigated crops.
It is simple and cost-effective, suitable for irrigation scheduling.
It can indirectly help assess water flux trends, though it doesn’t directly measure flux.
Its operational range is limited to <1 bar; increasing cup permeability doesn’t expand this range—making statement D incorrect.
